Chapter 245: : Backwater

"Five, four, three, two, one ... detonated!"
With a single order, dull roars continued one after another, dozens of spouts were dug open in the earth, the river mixed with mud washed up into the sky, and the bursting gravels rained in all directions. ? Bayi Chinese text WYW? W ?. ㈧81ＺW. After a moment of COM, the smoke and dust gradually fell, and the blocked river rolled down in successive days. The huge momentum rolled the huge stones on the waves and fell to the bottom of the river under the traction of gravity. The roaring water waves continued to move forward, and the one-meter-high drop was quickly filled. The spectacular scenes were all submerged in the water, as if nothing had been born.
The current is violent, the river is too wide to be narrowed to a visible degree, the river bank is gradually showing, and the flooding has lost its source. Thirty minutes later, the river banks above the long were basically exposed to the air, and the water level in the Bailihong District on the west bank gradually decreased, and slowly frozen in extremely cold weather.
Lieutenant General Thunder stood high and looked very embarrassed. Under his feet, he stepped on a wall made of corpses and stones. His face was scorching snow, and his white eyebrows were condensed with icicles. The wind blew the wet mud on his body stiff, like a layer of armor to bind his hands and feet. All actions are miserable.
"Time estimate?"
"It is expected to be accessible in five days." The technical officer's hand slid across the light-brain screen, and his lips froze purple. "If it gets colder, the time can be shortened. But the soldiers will not be able to bear it, and the losses will increase."
"Can't stand it ..."
Thunder looked down at the leather boots and frozen mud and ice on his thighs, and frowned slightly. This action made him feel pain. The frostbite face was inactive as if it were solid. When the muscles contracted, it felt like a few knives were scratching his face. The whole body's nerves seemed to be numb. Thunder sometimes suspected that he was no longer a whole, but was cut into pieces.
He looked up in despair, his eyes full of hurt and helplessness.
In the distance, the snow covered the ground, in sharp contrast to the surrounding muddy ground; nearby, the soldiers stepped on the knee-deep mud to drain water, and pushed the muddy water into the river with machinery, mecha, wooden poles and even their bodies.
Heavy snow, mist, mud, and cold, the ground is full of deep pits that can drown people. Flesh and blood work in this environment is more than just a "bitter" word.
"Don't stop, don't stop! Move it, move it for me!"
The officers tried to inspire the morale of their subordinates. At first, they were mighty and powerful, and gradually became husky and weak; the cold wind was raging, people's lips were covered with cracks, and the blood was frozen before it overflowed, and it became purple and black. Later, people's minds gradually became blank, they lifted their legs blindly and instinctively, took a step, and pulled the rope on their shoulders.
Occasionally someone stepped on the deep pit and screamed to awaken people around. Although it caused a lot of busyness and chaos, it dispelled a part of the deadly breath. If they could be rescued successfully, they might even make a few laughs. In contrast, people are most afraid to hear the sound of the explosion ... that is the landmine left indiscriminately when the star theft was evacuated, and every time it swept away life.
Lack of clothing, food and medicine, and extreme hardships have to work hard. Only one month since repairing the dyke, more than 90,000 soldiers have lost one third of their staff with almost no fighting, and the loss has been nearly 30,000! The rest were weak and irreversible, and many struggled on the death line.
Thinking of this, Lei Ming couldn't bear to look any further and turned his eyes elsewhere.
Not far from the headquarters, there are slopes on which to settle. Several bonfires are jumping with red awns. More than a dozen cauldrons are steaming. The warm atmosphere attracts the eyes of people around like a magnet. The soldiers who have been rotated around are surrounded, one by one with blue faces, stiff eyes, and expressions that are difficult to melt like black ice.
"Lao Wei, Lao Wei ..."
Huang Junan limped to the fire, greeted him and threw a bunch of "things" in his hands, then collapsed to the ground as if he had fallen apart.
"Come back? Just come back."
Hearing the call, Old Wei stepped over and picked up the bunch of things on the ground ... The soldiers now have a lot of stranded fish and shrimp in the mud, which can be used to satisfy their hunger.
"Come here, come here a little bit, hurry up and be warm."
As one of the designers of the twin-engine mech, Lao Wei is a top mechanic no matter where he is, and is entitled to enjoy the life of
respect and superiority
. Now he is unemployed as a husband and contributes to the drainage industry. It needs to be mentioned that this is still the special care of Lieutenant General Thunder. Only a few people can enjoy the treatment ... Others, such as Huang Junan, have been decentralized to the grassroots level.
"I'm fine ..."
Struggling to move to Lao Wei, Huang Junan reached out to the fire, breathing with his mouth from time to time.
"Old Wei."
"Huh?" Old Wei was busy dealing with those fishes without turning back.
"You said ... can we still see Sower?" Huang Junan's voice was soft and erratic, like a nightmare.
"Of course I can." Lao Wei broke the scales, and the fish still carrying muddy water still came to the pot and braised it. At the moment, this kind of fish soup is not only rare and delicious, but also rich in calories, filling hunger and cold, and strengthening physique.
"Can you?" Huang Junan looked at the numb faces around him, hesitantly: "Even if I can, what's the use?"
Every day and every day, people are dying. The combat effectiveness is declining every day. In a few days, I am afraid that there are not many people who can carry guns. There is a serious shortage of weapons and equipment, especially energy.
In this case, it is really unrealistic to expect everyone to attack the city.
"Go and talk." Lao Wei didn't feel that much, and replied, while throwing a fish into the pot.
Huang Junan sighed in silence, "Is there any news about Niuben?"
Old Wei froze a moment and said, "You don't have one, come and ask me?"
Huang Junan said: "The quantum communicator is under your control, I thought ..."
Old Wei repeatedly shook his head: "That thing can't be used casually, and it doesn't belong to me."
Huang Junan was a little disappointed and turned back to silently catch fire.
"I don't know if the return will be successful. This diversion and plan will make people miserable."
"What?" The voice was very quiet, and Old Wei didn't understand the sentence.
"Nothing, I mean, Niu Ben doesn't know what he's busy with right now."
"You don't need to ask this, of course, you are fighting with the star robbers, and you are busy conquering them." Old Wei answered with a firm tone and lofty sentiments. "When we arrive, maybe there is everything over there, just waiting to welcome the troops into the city."
"... Hehe, that's good." In the dim sky, there seemed to be a shadow behind Huang Junan, shaking slightly.
"By the way, when it comes to Niuben, I have to say that there was some misunderstanding between you last time. It ’s okay to untie it, right?"
"... It's okay, of course it's okay. What can happen?"
"Don't blame me for talking. The red faces between young people are normal. Turn your head to know that everyone is a brother and eat meat and drink together. You are both classmates and comrades-in-arms. You can't avenge yourself because of a little misunderstanding."
"Lao Wei is right, I forgot about that."
"This is the best, so I can rest assured." The mouth said, rest assured, Lao Wei was still not assured, and tentatively said, "When I get to Sawwor, will I agree with you?"
"Not saying pro ..."
Huang Junan couldn't help crying and was about to quit, and suddenly heard the lieutenant general roar loudly at the people around him.
"You can't stand it! I'm not dead, can't young people?"
I do not know what kind of stimulus, Lei Ming seemed extremely excited, tired and dim eyes recovered sharply, his face seemed to be shining.
"Work in shifts to speed up the progress, you must be out in three days!"
The military order is like a mountain, and the people who are suffering in the mud are struggling to fight with fate, only to have the opportunity to narrow the distance to the target city. What people do n’t know is that in this city at the moment, more people are also experiencing the choice of fate. , About to drop a key piece on the most important board in life.
...
...
It's getting dark early, and the premise of the meal follows, just as people were preparing to make dinner, Sawworth was a sensation in the city.
Under the rigorous guard of the army, the prison proposed more than a dozen inmates, all in various ways, hanging cards and plaques, and walking the streets!
In a civilized world, street insults such as insults can never happen, but in Sorver, prisoners walking is one of the important "entertainments" of the people. In the past, it was done once or twice a day, and it attracted 10,000 people to watch. Along the way, the crimes of mortals are repeatedly repeated, and those who are most guilty often invite scolding. Of course, there are also people who smash eggs and still have leaves, too much, and peeing.
Prisoners commit crimes, punishment for their sins, cheers from the public, afterthoughts and discussions ... these help vent the public's indignation and help the rule last longer. In this chaotic place like Sower, people need an emotional leak, and of course ... they need the tacit consent of the Big Three.
This time the street tour is different from the past. All the prisoners pulled out to show the public are prisoners of war. For those who have experienced the suffering of the war but have not seen what the battlefield is like, they can get close contact with the federal prisoners of war and see how embarrassing they are. It looks like a pleasure.
It is worth mentioning that the three giants also have propaganda machines that work every day to lay out how the three-party federations fight and how to defeat more enemy forces. Although a large number of refugees have flowed into the city, on the bright side, most people are still dreaming of victory, and life returns to normal as soon as possible. This tour clearly shows the alliance's will and determination to fight, and it is foreseeable that this situation will not change at least until the Federal Army sieges or a decisive change in the city.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way. Well-informed people have long begun to find a way out, and ordinary people have noticed signs from various signs. External troubles and internal worries, it is definitely not wise to show opposition by using a street tour, and to annoy opponents in a humiliating way; once the news of the street tour is released, a few people will read extremely unusual information from it, adding a lot of worry to the heart.
"The army is out of control ..."
The Star theft Army was formed by the three giants. After that, the two empires joined, and the command power gradually passed to the hands of instructors at all levels. After what happened last night, it is hard to imagine that the Big Three would agree to let the prisoners of war travel on the street, and further deduction from this.
"Is the Big Three finally divided?"
"Whether it is a victory or a defeat, Sorver will change."
All kinds of conjectures, the air that was already very tense in the city became more and more gloomy. Aside from these concerns and the cracks caused by it, the street itself has been successful, not only attracting a large number of people to watch, but also attracting heated discussion.
Interestingly, the discussion was mainly focused on the person named Lao Liu who was in the forefront. The reason was not how fierce he was, but because his behavior was shameless and outrageous.
Even those who are mischievous despise them.
The sixth son committed a crime in the Commonwealth and tried his best to escape to Sauvol, and he had been stolen for three years. This year, the federal army made a big move. The sixth lad took the initiative to contact the army in the name of the reporting country and continuously passed on the information of the coalition forces. While in prison, he killed two prisoners of war to take care of the letter, in exchange for trust and better living conditions, and then spread the information like the Hualong Federation. Not only that, he also proactively offered advice like an instructor, trying to kill all prisoners of war who knew what he was doing ... so that he would be able to do whatever he could, and no matter who won in the future, he would have credit for it, and he might become a hero. .
The chaos around the prison last night was caused by the spy who was in contact with this person being detected. The three-party coalition forces fought bravely and finally repelled the offending enemy and returned the people to peace. After the incident was exposed, Lao Liu's despicable personality reappeared again and again. He even rebelled in order to survive, his cowardly, greedy, greedy life and fear of death were exposed, which is simply not as good as a beast.
It must be acknowledged that the prison has worked a lot on Lao Liu. Not only is the experience and the story wonderful, but the evidence is solid, and it is difficult for the immortal to reverse the case. It should also be mentioned that these descriptions are specifically designed for Sauvols, and they accurately stamp the point that people most hate.
Star thieves are from the rivers and lakes. Although the rivers and lakes lack discipline, they are scattered with sand, but they attach great importance to morality, and pay special attention to brotherhood. These behaviors of Lao Liu, or should be called crimes, all run counter to the words of righteousness, or simply, he is the most typical negative teaching material.
He betrayed everything that he could betray, without a little shame, every act of his was unforgivable, whether in the Hualong Federation or here, there were only four words: sin should be dead!
What ’s interesting is that throughout the street tour, the sixth person took away most of the eyeballs. Even those who were worried about something who did n’t want to watch the street, rushed to the place after hearing the story. Let ’s see what the evil is, see What will he end up with. Unfortunately, the street tour did not last long, and many people could not see the sixth person's diarrhea spreading over his face, and his body was stink.
The whole hour took many people by surprise, and the street was basically undisturbed. The people who knew the incident last night decided that even the federal soldiers who had colluded with the Sixth Boy felt that this person should have been stabbed, so it didn't appear. .
However, in the eyes of others, this matter has special significance.
"This is a challenge for Niuben. He will be chilled if he doesn't take over, and people who are erratic will also return to us. If he takes over, we will have the opportunity to wipe out the whole net and gather those who are down."
"The guy named Niu is very powerful, and his weakness is extreme conceit, especially after last night's things will make him even more conceited. I think he will come, even in person."
The vehicle traveling the street drove back to the prison, the lone wolf carefully inspected the fortifications and defenses at each intersection, and finally announced it in a conference call with a limited number of people.
"You must first settle in the outer area, and stop thinking about the army crossing the river, this time it will be a battle against the water."
"Victory wins the big picture in one fell swoop. If we fail, we all die together."
